McKenzie's Audio Woes...

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Well, its either im going fucking batshit insane or something is fucked up. I had to reinstall my OS due to a failing hard drive and had to wipe a different hard drive. Ever since then, my mic had been working fine for a few days when I was on Vent. Now, it's a game of chance of whether it will work or not. I have reinstalled my audio drivers, and tried fucking with my Vent settings about 10 times. If I could get someone with some experience over this to help me out, to finalize this issue, that'd be great...

Rah. Motivate. And such.

Try different versions of the audio drivers. I'm sure the manufacturer has the latest.

If nothing else you could get a USB Mic. It seems to bypass the audio system somehow.

That's my next step... I might just wait and see if I get those bad ass Logitech Headphones I want for christmas..

The reason they "bypass" the default drivers is because a USB headset comes with it's own drivers, and embedded in the headset is it's own sound card. Therefore, it doesn't use the default drivers of your computer.

Now, if you're using Realtek audio drivers, which most default audio drivers are, you can download a more up-to-date version of the drivers from here. Until I updated those drivers, I had issues using the Realtek sound card on my PC because it would only seem to give audio to 2 or 3 applications at once, IE Windows and Vent, but not DoD:S. Updating helped a lot, it got rid of that issue.

However, I do have a USB headset, and it is awesome.

I actually have a SigmaTel Audio driver, but I appeared to have fixed it.
